We have a Supra 24ssv and can't seem to produce a wave on the left (non-driver) side. We have tried a number of things with no luck. Now on the right no problem, we're geting about a 3.5'-4' wave that's very well shaped. Just having problems on the other side. Any help, sugestions etc.. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply.(drivers side) We use the center ballast full fill the rear ballast on the drivers side have everyone on that side of boat (6-7 people w/o driver so 7-8 total)on deck etc.. two small "fat sacks 85lbs each on same side" wake plate at about 1/4 down from full up, don't use speed we use rpm depending on how many people between 3400 & 3600 rpm about 10.5-11mph. Wave is always great. We try the same exact thing on the non-drivers side and just mush. will have to try more weight like your 440lbs sack. Once again thanks.. Douglas Walter

All inboard ski boats use a left hand propeller, except Correct Craft, which uses right hand propellers. According to this wrong theory, the Supra should only have a good left side wake. Unless this Supra has a wrong rotating engine, this is further evidence of what I have been saying, "prop rotation is only a factor, not the factor". Jeff Walker changed his propeller pitch and it changed his wave considerably. The pitch of your propeller may have something to do with your weak left side wake Douglas.

Yeah...when I dropped the pitch on my Tige 23V it degraded the starboard side wave. Currently, in order to maintain a clean wave on the starboard side I must turn a slight arc to that side. Prior to changing the prop, this turning wasn't necessary.

Interestingly enough, the port side wave IMPROVED slightly with the change in the prop pitch.

NOW...my concept of the perfect wave is possibly different than some folks. I like a wave height of 3-4 feet from the bottom of the trough to the peak of the lip and a usable pocket length of 20+ feet. "Usable pocket" being defined as from the END of the swim platform to the start of the curl at the trailing edge. Further, the transition needs to be "not too steep". IMO, itís easy to overweight a boat and wind up with a wave that is incredibly high, but so steep that you slide out setting up for a hard bottom turn...or when you re-enter from an aerial and scoot into the flats, itís almost impossible to catch back up to the wave.
